Actress Imelda Staunton, future Queen of England in "The Crown" - Camilla Morandi / Venezia / Ipa / Starface

Fans of The Crown and the British Royal Family know this: there are still many stories to tell in the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Peter Morgan, the creator of the already cult series, seems to agree, since he announced via the Netflix UK Twitter account that the program would come back for a sixth season, not stop at the fifth.

News from the palace: we can confirm there will be a sixth (and final) season of @TheCrownNetflix, in addition to the previously announced five!

"When we started telling the stories of season 5, it became very clear that to make all the complexity and richness of this story, we had to go back to our original goal of six seasons," he said. Explain.

Not for now

The scriptwriter specifies that the series will not end in the present (no Megxit , for example!), But that it is simply a question of telling the period that interests him (the beginning of the 2000s) in detail.

The fourth season of The Crown , in which Gillian Anderson will play Margaret Thatcher and Olivia Colman will return for a new season in the role of the queen, will also introduce a character played by Emma Corrin: a certain Diana Spencer, become princess of Wales. Exit scheduled before the end of the year, with no specific date. As for the fifth season, it should not be filmed before 2021, with actress Imelda Staunton in the role of Elizabeth II.

Too bad, there will probably be no “The Crown” season with Meghan and Harry
